The LaTeX bm package

Version: 5.5 - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

The bm package provides access to bold math symbols. Using the package involves placing TeX fields containing the command \bm{mathematics} in the body of the document where you want bold mathematics.

Note that the Bold Symbol tag makes the use of the bm package largely unnecessary in SWP and SW.

The bm package supersedes the amsbsy package. For more information, see the package documentation. The package is installed in the LaTeX/required/tools subdirectory as part of the Standard LaTeX Tools Bundle.
